Bollywood’s khiladi, Akshay Kumar, is all praises for rising star Kalyani Priyadarshan, whose film Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra is making waves as it gears up for its Hindi release on September 4. With critics and audiences alike singing its praises, the film has found a powerful supporter in Akshay, who took to social media to give Kalyani a heartfelt shoutout.
"Talent runs in the family... suna thaa, ab dekh liya!" Akshay posted on X (formerly Twitter), applauding Kalyani’s acting prowess and giving a respectful nod to her legendary father, filmmaker Priyadarshan. His message came packed with well wishes for Kalyani and the entire team of Lokah, ahead of its grand Hindi debut.
This isn’t just a random shoutout—Akshay and Priyadarshan share a long and iconic history, delivering cult favorites like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. After a 15-year break, the dynamic duo recently teamed up again for the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, proving that their magic on screen still sizzles.
Lokah also boasts a solid ensemble with Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani adding star power and seasoned performances. With the buzz surrounding its original release only growing, the Hindi version is poised to reach a whole new audience.
And it doesn't stop here—Akshay and Priyadarshan are set to reunite again soon for Haiwaan, a high-octane entertainer co-starring Saif Ali Khan. But for now, all eyes are on Lokah, and with stars like Akshay cheering from the front row, the spotlight is shining brighter than ever.
